  1. Re:Easy fix... on Are You Ready for the SCO Blitz? · · Score: 1

    Well, 500000 may be more accurate. But actually, if that auto-moderation were to occur, the forces of truth would be less able to refute the FUD because they wouldn't see it.

    This list would be shorter to post the non-hacked machines.

    Possibly. There has been discussion in recent years that they were warm-blooded in some ways. More info here.

  4. Re:Great line on SCO Linux Licenses Could Increase In Price · · Score: 1

    Speed bumps? Ok, that makes sense, they've stopped smoking crack and have started shooting up speed. Sucks when revenue is down and you can't afford the crack, eh Darl?

    Please cite where the US and Europe said this was OK. That is just MS spin AFAIK.

  6. Re:Double Standards? on Microsoft Admits Japanese Monopoly Battle Hurting Image · · Score: 4, Insightful

    No, it's not hypocritical. Just because software patents are wrong does not preclude you from saying that it is wrong for an entity to violate what currently is the law. Until software patents are outlawed, only outlaws will violate software patents.

  7. Re:^5 on Microsoft Developing Linux Policy, Plan of Attack · · Score: 1

    I agree, complacency is a problem. However, the bigger picture is that if bush gets re-elected, the level of corruption is such that MS can buy whatever 'laws' they need to stifle Linux. However, if that occurs, then the revolution will start. It will be much cleaner for the state of the world if bush is not re-elected, because if he is, things will become a extremely large mess down the road.

    If it takes days (for example, you are on dialup), you might as well wait and get the CDROM.

    250MB for patches? You could download a Linux distro in nearly the same amount of time.

  9. Re:Why just some? on Some Of The Lost X-Patents Found · · Score: 1
    I can imagine MS may claim that they filed some of those X-patents so they can control the GUI desktop.
    Ok, maybe that would be the SCO lawyers.

    All your desktop are belong to us.

    The logs don't prove crap. They indicate that it was possible that you read it, but it's also possible that your spam filter tossed it.

  11. Re:Censorship on Kansas AG Rejects Settlement Discs · · Score: 2, Insightful
    They wouldn't have been given that option if the AG had been paying attention in the first place.

    To allow the record companies to dump their junk as a 'settlement' speaks volumes about how corrupt the system has become.

    It's close.

    Apparently, there are short lived storms that create much more intense lightning than has ever been seen on the third rock.

    Truely a lie. It would be the other way around.

    What is *your* definition of 'abusive'?

    Yahoo can just say that their definition of abusive does not agree with the shysters definition of abusive.

    Sorta like defining what 'is' is.

    Your point is good, but I'm not sure that invoking the 'drinkypoo law' will carry much weight around here.

    Exactly. This puts MS on notice that they should abandon their software patent strategy.

    MS needs to grow up and embrace Linux, not try to kill it.

  23. Re:...EU software patents? on City of Munich Freezes Its Linux Migration · · Score: 1
    Cart, meet horse.

    The problem is that if they have been granted even though they are currently illegal/un-enforcable, if for some crazy reason they become legal, you can bet that they will be grandfathered anyway. It doesn't matter whether you call it illegal or un-enforcable, that's just semantics. So, in reality, there is no difference.

    They should not be granted anyway.

    It's the server that you think you can trust that can execute code on your Putty client.

    The writeup is not clear:

    Well, of course you trust your client machine.

    Actually, that would be worse than kilometers.

    1 mile = 1.609344 kilometers per Google.
    They really should have reported it as 440.8 furlongs.
